Johnny Depp named most overpaid actor of 2015

The 'Lone Ranger' star was number two last year, but Adam Sandler, who topped the list for two years in a row, was deemed ineligible since his next four films will be released by Netflix.

It's ironic that Depp should be given the dubious honour just as his career is starting to rebound, having earned rave reviews for Black Mass and returning to the iconic character of Captain Jack Sparrow.

Making it to number two on this year's list is Denzel Washington, followed by Will Ferrell.
